New LnL Page: Follow Loop
Our team has been hard at work on many things, including a revamp of the LnL website. Check out our new section, Follow Loop, which includes helpful info on Nightscout and Loop Caregiver, both of which can not only be used to follow a looper, but also to give inputs remotely, and on Tidepool and Loop Follow. Loopers' management options are growing consistently!

Pro Tip: Save that Insulin!
| |
Ever gone to a restaurant and found out your reservoir is empty? Here's a Pro Tip so you are never without backup insulin and can leave your current vial safely at home in the fridge. - When the current vial is nearing empty, save at least 20 units for your backup supply in the vial
- Put it in a zipper storage bag with a couple of insulin syringes
- Keep that emergency supply in your diabetes gear bag or purse or backpack
And what about that pod that has a lot of insulin in the reservoir when it’s time to change? After changing to the new pod, use the pod-syringe to suck out the leftover insulin and add it to the emergency vial.
